AUSTIN — More than a third of Gov. Greg Abbott’s $8.27 million fundraising haul in the last campaign reporting period came from just 13 donors who gave $250,000 apiece, according to his finance report released Thursday.

Abbott raised the money in the nine days allowed for campaign fundraising between his deadline for vetoing bills approved in the last legislative session and the June 30 end of the reporting period.

The biggest donors who collectively gave $3.25 million include big-money Texans who’ve given to him before.
